HBO is taking legal action against Pornhub for posting the best parts of 'Game of Thrones.'

HBO has spanked slapped the popular sex site Pornhub with a lawsuit for posting scenes from the showGame of Thrones on the "fantasy section" of their website. According to the New York Post, it doesn't sit well with producers that their Emmy-winning actors are on a smut site, and they are moving forward with a copyright infringement lawsuit against the hub of porn. Besides, all those boobs and penises on the show are in the name of art. Art!

The clips started appearing on Pornhub following an observation by administrators that viewing on their site dropped four percent (that is, about one million masturbators) when the show had its season six premiere back in April. Statistics also showed that there was a huge spike in searches for Game of Thrones characters (namely, the pretty female ones) since the show came back. With super steamy sex scenes built in to many episodes, some people on Pornhub apparently decided to cut out the middle man and upload clips from the series directly onto the website. According to the BBC, Pornhub's VP, Corey Price, says they remove illegal content as soon as they see it.

There was finally good acting on a porn site, but not for long.

Game of Thrones has never been shy about showing all the stuff that could probably describe someone's go-to search words, including full frontal nudity, brothel orgies, and lesbian love scenes.
